About

This Claude Skill performs iterative root cause analysis by repeatedly asking "why" to drill from surface-level symptoms down to a fundamental, actionable cause. It's designed for developers to systematically debug failures, investigate incidents, or understand why something went wrong. The skill structures the analysis into a clear chain of questions and answers, typically over about five iterations.
